Tips to paint your denim jacket

Painting is one of the most common ways of making custom denim jackets. At the bottom of your closet, you have a lot of clothes that you don’t wear for some reason, either because you think they are outdated or because they no longer have the charm that they used to have when you bought them.


Read on as we teach you how to give a second life to a denim jacket. The denim jacket you have not worn for years can be transformed and made cooler again. Here are a few tips to help you bring your imagination to life by customizing your denim jacket.


Where do you begin?

If you are reading this article, you have already taken the hardest step. Let us start choosing the jacket that you wish to customize. It does not have to be a jacket because you can still customize jeans. Regardless of the type of clothing or customizing you want to carry out before you start painting, it is crucial to clean the garment even if it is new.

Remember that new clothing may be protected from the factory so if you want to achieve quality customization then it is necessary to prepare your garment so that your paint adheres easily. To prepare your garment before you start painting, you should use a universal cleaner. This is a product designed to clean and remove even the toughest stains and dirt. You can use it on nubuck, smooth leather, fabric, canvas and all types of garments even those that are directly from your custom clothing manufacturer.


Steps for customization

While customizing your denim jacket seems like an easy task, here are a few steps and tips you need to follow when it comes to customization.


Sketch design

It is advisable to draw your design on paper before you start customizing your clothes. You can use tracing paper to trace the design on the garment or use a pencil and make the sketch on top of your garment.


White should be the first coat of paint

Regardless of the range of colors you want to use, it is advisable to apply a layer of white paint to ensure the colored paint adheres properly. Once you have the sketch, you should apply a thin layer of white paint to begin customization.


Sneakers soft marker

You should now start customizing your jacket. You should mix your paints using a sneaker soft marker. The product is used with paint to paint on mesh, fabric, denim and canvas. It keeps the surface flexible and smooth and at the same time sets the paint offering a high-quality finish.


Bring your imagination to life

Everything is ready and you can now start customizing your custom denim jackets. Make thin layers and do not be in a hurry to finish customizing. You should remember to allow the paint enough time to dry so that it adheres properly to the material and doesn’t crack later. If you are wondering if you can use special effect paints or glitter paints then the answer is yes.
